One-Step Paint Polish
Reduce light swirl marks and bring back the depth and gloss your paint used to have.
Reduce swirls and restore gloss
Most dull paint is not faded. It is covered in microscopic scratches from washing, brushes and years of wiping. A one-step polish uses a machine polisher and a single product to level those light marks and restore gloss in one pass.
It is a strong result for the money, but it is not a multi-stage correction. Deep scratches you can catch a fingernail on will still be there. We will tell you what to expect before we start.

One-Step Paint Polish Questions
What Arlington drivers ask us most.
Will a polish remove scratches?
It reduces light swirls and fine scratches. Deep scratches need more than a one-step polish.
How much does it cost?
$150 to $250, depending on vehicle size and paint condition.
Does it include wax?
Wax or sealant is a separate add-on unless the polish is booked with a package that includes it.
